The Old King David Manor

This drawing used to hang on the wall of Nick's room. It is a crayon drawing of The King David Manor, and old building on the Long Beach boardwalk.

Lately Nick has been looking at pictures of The King David Manor on his computer. He prints them out and brings them to mommy and daddy. This is a picture Nick found on the computer.

We remind Nick that the King David Manor is all gone, but Nick still wants to visit.

One day mommy bought Nick a wooden box from the craft store. We traced out the lines of The King David Manor, and them Nick painted in the colors.


Every time Nick asks for The King David Manor mommy says, "Look, it's right here! Nick has a little King David Manor!"

King David Manor and The Allegria

For a long time, there was a yellow and orange building in Long Beach called The King David Manor. Nick loved that building, and he used to paint it all the time. Sometimes when we were in the car Nick would say "yellow orange building" right before we drove past.

This is a picture of Nick from 2006.

This is a new picture of Nick in front of the same building. The outside colors have changed, now it is called The Allegria Hotel.

Mommy and Nick walked around the building. Nick wanted to go inside so we walked into the lobby and the first thing we saw was a sign.

Mommy said, "I guess you are not the only person who loved The King David Manor, lots of people want to remember the famous yellow and orange building of Long Beach."
